SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in JADE
MOUNTAIN. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Advancing in the rankings was THAT'S US who went from last turn's 10-10-1, to this
week's record of 13-11-1. Hey everybody, watch out for HARPY, who flew up 20 points
in the rankings after mashing TALK-TO-DEATH like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was TREENVA TARAL, who dropped 11 points
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with ALBANNON. ARDEN got through to
the Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more than anxious to kick RED MOSQUITO's
tail out of the throne! Our battling duelmaster RED MOSQUITO has managed to hold the
title, fending off ARDEN's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, DARK
TOADS. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad THAT'S US? Big bad THAT'S US. Big bad THAT'S US. JADE MOUNTAIN's afraid
of the big bad THAT'S US. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this
one: THAT'S US + Weapons That go Boom = DARK TOADS + Avoid City. Well just about
everybody wants a piece of TREENVA TARAL, who was this week's most challenged
warrior.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! FRACTO says to his dog--'Who
should I fight this week?'. Dog says 'JANG-KO BLACKHAND'. So the guy dies. Moral?
Put lying dogs to sleep. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is
a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JADE MOUNTAIN have
no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make
some tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Death Fest Begins July 29/DM 59 T-172
"You drive a hard bargain Hammer," responded Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul, "but the
Gladiatorial Commission has agreed to re-open DM 58 Delarq Tor as a Slow Arena
exclusively for a period of six months to those Death Fest contestants who fight
their stables at least 67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death
Fest; on the condition that at least 20 stables qualify for the Illis Iron Stable
Award at the conclusion of the Death Fest and those qualifying managers send a New
Stable to DM 58 Delarq Tor without Cannibalizing their participation in the other
arenas where they have active stables!"
Hammer felt a certain sense of satisfaction as he studied the ghoulish grin
spreading across the face of Lord Lian Ki Na-Sul; proud Arena Master of the once
dying Illis Arena, as the DM 59 Arena Authority signed the Gladiatorial Commission
papers authenticating the arrangement agreed upon by the two parties presiding.
"You and the Gladiatorial Commission also drive a hard bargain," Hammer replied
as he reflected upon the prospects of Delarq Tor DM 58 being re-opened as a Slow
Arena with at least 20 New Stables by the Managers who fight their stables at least
67 times out of a possible 75 during the 15 rounds of Death Fest. "I also notice the
clause that for Delarq Tor to be open Exclusively for 6 months to the New Stables
managed by the Illis Iron Stable Award Winners that there must be at least 15 stables
Active each cycle. That is a fair bargain for the opportunity to battle for the
Duelmaster Throne each of those six months before Other New Stables are allowed to
enter Delarq Tor."
This was a Golden Opportunity for both Veteran and Newbie Managers to pave a new
frontier of Delarq history by qualifying their Death Fest stables in DM 59 with 67
fights out of a possible 75; then for the price of running a stable in a Regular
Arena, continuing to be Active in DM 59 and sending a New Team Roll Up to be a part
of "History in the Making" when Delarq Tor would re-open for its First Turn as a Slow
Arena on November 3rd, 2005.
Death Fest would conclude on T-186 August 25th, 2005 allowing the Illis Iron
Stable Award Winners enough time to be registered with the Gladiatorial Commission;
whereupon they would be able to submit a New Team Roll Up to the GC to start a New
Stable in Delarq Tor; be able to fight those New Gladiators in the Rookies 2005 Fall
Mailer Tourney; then begin competing for the DM 58 Duelmasters Throne in Delarq Tor
right out of the gate with the November 3rd 2005 T-1 Debut Opening Round.
Hammer of the First Part had also negotiated with Lord Na-Zul of the Second Part
an agreement that All 10 Dark Arena Monsters and 17 NPCs Characters be re-named by
the Top Ten Death Fest Finishers. [See DM 59 T-171 Newsletter Team Spotlight by
Hammer for the complete listing of Dark Arena Monsters/NPCs and the Official Death
Fest Designation for which Top Ten Finishers re-name which characters!]
Lord Na-Sul could not hide his delight at the prospects of Death being re-
delivered to his once dying arena during the Delarq Death Fest; the DM 59 Arena
Master agreed that these Death Fest Prizes were but a Small Exchange in Comparison to
the Profits to be made by the local Illis business merchants and surrounding
community from the Anticipated Influx into Illis by the Veteran and Newbie
Managers/Gladiators/Stables seeking to make History in the Delarq Death Fest.
Nor could Hammer conceal his jubilation regarding the Call Across Alistari being
Answered to Cross Blades and Match Wits with the Devious, the Diabolical, the
Dangerous and the Down Challenging who were being drawn to the Delarq Death Fest to
Fulfill their Delarq Dueling Destiny!
